KISS’ Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley reunite for ‘World Of Tanks’

KISS’ Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have reunited for a World Of Tanks Modern Armor collaboration following the band’s 2023 farewell tour.

World Of Tanks Modern Armor’s annual Metal Fest kicked off yesterday (August 26) and will run until September 15. This year’s event will be a celebration of iconic rock group KISS. “The in-game music event delivers an electrifying KISS-themed experience,” promised developers. “Players can take on two thrilling challenges loaded with exclusive KISS-inspired rewards, try an all-new PvE mode on a specially designed map, enjoy daily gifts, and more.”

World Of Tanks Modern Armor’s Metal Fest will feature four premium tanks, with each one inspired by a classic KISS character – The Demon, The Starchild, The Spaceman, and The Catman. Each one will also blast their 1975 hit ‘Rock And Roll All Nite’ when it’s selected by players from their garage.

“All four KISS personas come alive as fully animated 3D Hero Commanders, complete with custom voiceover,” continued the press release, with KISS icons Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley recording custom audio for the collab.

“Metal Fest in World Of Tanks Modern Armor is pure rock ’n’ roll mayhem,” said Gene Simmons in a statement. “We’re bringing fire, power, and pure adrenaline. When KISS shows up, you know it’s going to be epic.”

“All the designs for the Commanders were a group effort with a lot of input from KISS. The band pushed us to fully embrace the fantastical elements of each character,” explained art director Andy Dorizas. “This is KISS reimagined for commanding tanks, each with a look unlike anything seen before.”

KISS wrapped up the final scheduled date of their extensive Farewell tour back in December 2023 at Madison Square Garden. Just after they left the stage, the band announced that they were about to move into their ‘new era’ and were planning on doing some shows using virtual avatars – similar to that of the hit ABBA Voyage shows.

No virtual KISS concert has been announced yet but Stanley and Simmons will be performing together in Las Vegas this November as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for the KISS Army fanclub.
